15882.19

15882.19

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 10, 655$ , $r = 5 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 8$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0041666667$ , $n t = 96$ , so the growth factor is $1.4905854679$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $10, 655$ × $1.4905854679$ = $15882.19$ .
